"New super awesome" isn't a very good way to describe what you're looking for. All you'll get as a response is what everyone's favorite MMO is. 
That being said, World of Warcraft is probably the most popular MMO in EC. Followed by Star Wars Galaxies and City of Heroes.
Or the title of each and every MMO that has ever existed. -_- Willias fucked around with this message on 07-26-2005 at 10:32 PM.

Actually, I've never played it, I just wanted to throw that in there. It's more than likely the sort of game I WOULD have played if I'd known about it much earlier.

WoW is great fun. If you show up on Uther Horde and send a tell to Danaerys, I and my friends/guildies can hook you up with good stuff and run you through the annoying lowbie crap.
The "newbie crap" was pretty fun the first couple of times you go through it. Admit it. It's only annoying after you've started experiencing some of the cool mid-level stuff and it's boring to go back down to step 1.

True dat. I do have some noob alts that need to do the lowbie crap too, though. Either way, it's always nice to have level 60 friends around to help farm shit.

For just you and a friend planning on grouping alot, I think it'd work out pretty well.

I watched the guild wars video a few times at Comic-Con. So pretty...I really wanna get back to WoW AND try Guild Wars, but I had to cancel my account so I could afford my phone bill. It pisses me off -_-

GW is free so it is pretty worth it. I've been having fun toying with it.
Were I to say anything else people would just go "omg you just say that because you play it", so sticking with the hard numbers

The problem with constantly bringing that up is that it's exactly backwards. Something that's good is usually popular. Something that's popular is not necessarily good (just look at the music industry). A implies B, but B does not necessarily imply A!

It's elementary economics that people simply don't buy things they don't like, so your assumption that "things that are popular are not always good" is incorrect.
Say what you want about nsync and hanson, but the people who buy their albums do so because, to them, their music is good and worth buying.
When X is more popular than Y, it means that a greater number of people found X good and worth buying, and really that's the only meaningful determination of what is and is not "good".

Becuase they have competent devs probably. Unlike most/all SOE games.
.. and doesn't Lineage 1 and 2 have a lot more?

Left Behind is quality literature? Halo is the best FPS ever? Sacrifice is a game that absolutely sucks?
You also got your elementary economics wrong, many more factors than quality alone influence sales numbers, don't forget marketing, price, availability, customer base, competition, overall economic conditions, etc. Trying to equate quality to popularity simply based on the fact that people buy things they like while discounting all the other factors that go into a purchase is somewhat naive.

Lineage 1 was at a little under 2 million in the middle of a LARGE drop (From an all time high of almost 3.25 million)
Lineage 2 was at about 2.1 million, starting to plateau after an earlier climb
WoW has them beat by a large margin unless somehow, during WoW's big release, either of the game gained over 1.5 million subscribers (Incidently, how many WoW gained)
WoW is currently higher than Lineage 1's lifetime highest, which WAS the most popular MMO for a very long time. Heck, WoW's current subscriber point is actually higher than the chart even has listed, heh. Vorago fucked around with this message on 07-27-2005 at 10:54 AM.
I've played (some more than others...) WoW, GW, EQ2, L2, M59, UO, AO, M59, EQ, SB...
I liked EQ1 and Shadowbane the most.. We've discussed possibly L2 or FF.. but i'm told the pvp in FF is pretty horrible? (i've been spoiled with M59 and SB pvp which were both out of this world)
My beef with WoW was how simple the game is (the skill trees and such) and the game just feels like it was made for 12 year olds... (i made it to level 30 and got bored and quit)
How is the content (items, interesting places, etc) in FF?
What about in L2? (i was in open beta lineage2 only made it to like lvl 10 or so, got the basic feel for the game, i liked it but the game's terrain seemed limitted)
My school has a really nasty firewall/port blocking scheme goin on so whatever game we pick needs to use less than 5 ports so i can convince the network guys to open them (EQ1 and EQ2 require NO FIREWALL...) they've already unblocked WoW i think, and L2 uses 3 ports...
